SIGL special machines

SIGL Capper type A2000

With the Capper A2000, SIGL shrink-caps or snap-on caps can be positioned quickly and reliably on almost all fitting systems commonly used in the industry, ensuring that the keg is securely protected against tampering (for shrinkcaps in combination with an automatic shrink-capper type S600 or S1200).

The caps are transported from the storage bin to the sorting drum. An integral sensor system transports the caps in the correct position into the feed chute under quantity control. As the keg travels through, the caps (shrink-caps or snap-on caps) are automatically picked from the chute.

The mobile feed chute automatically compensates for any height differences in the kegs.The capper is designed for mixed Operation and sets itself for different caps and keg sizes.

Capacity: 2.000 kegs/hour. Optional: can also be used for the capping of slim kegs.

SIGL Shrink-capper and – fitter AS500

The compact Shrink-capper and -fitter AS500 combines the functions of placement and shrink-fitting of SIGL shrink-caps in a single machine and in the smallest space possible. The caps are first transported from the storage bin to the sorting drum. A vibrator then transports the caps in the correct Position into the feed chute under electronic quantity control. As the keg travels through, the caps are automatically picked and placed onto the fitting.

The keg is then transported to the shrink-fitting station where it is centred. The shrinkhead with automatic height detection shrinks the SIGL shrink-cap around the fitting under time- and temperature control, ensuring the quality closure of the keg. The Shrink-capper and -fitter AS500 is designed for mixed operation and sets itself to the relevant keg size.

Capacity: 500 kegs/hour. Optional: can also be used for the capping of slim kegs.

SIGL Shrink-capper and – fitter AS1000

The compact Shrink-capper and -fitter AS1000 combines the functions of placement and shrink-fitting of SIGL shrink-caps in a single machine and in the smallest space possible. The caps are first transported from the storage bin to the sorting drum. A vibrator then transports the caps in the correct Position into the feed chute under electronic quantity control. As the keg travels through, the caps are automatically picked and placed onto the fitting.

The keg is then transported to the shrink-fitting station where it is centred. The shrinkhead with automatic height detection shrinks the SIGL shrink-cap around the fitting under time- and temperature control, ensuring the quality closure of the keg. The Shrink-capper and -fitter AS1000 is designed for mixed operation and sets itself to the relevant keg size.

Capacity: up to 1100 kegs/hour. Optional: can also be used for the capping of slim kegs.

SIGL capper AK400

You can use the AK400 capper to place both snap caps for triangular fittings or key kegs (also as snap caps for flat fitting on barrels of varying diameters.

Caps are usually moved from the storage bunker into the classifying drum. Then, air pressure is used to move the caps into the feed rail in the correct position using lectronic quantity monitoring.

The barrel is centred with a parallel gripper for placing the cap. Finally, the cap is automatically passed onto the placing head, positioned on the fitting and placed.

capacity: 600 barrels/h Slim KEGs can also be processed as an option.

SIGL Manual Shrink-capper type HSG3

The manual Shrink-capper HSG3 is the ideal piece of equipment for smaller and medium-sized breweries which do not operate continual filling of beer into kegs. In combination with SIGL shrinkfitting caps for all fitting systems common in the industry, this provides optimum product reliability even for smaller production quantities, and offers a cost-effective alternative to the conventional snap-cap. Thanks to the adjustable centring aid, the machine can be used for all known keg sizes, including slim kegs.

Capacity: max. 300 kegs/hour.

SIGL Automatic Shrink-capper type S 600

With its capacity of up to 650 kegs per hour, the automatic shrink-capper S600 is the ideal machine for smaller and medium filling tasks. SIGL shrink-caps can be quickly and easily shrink-fitted to flat or bayonet fittings, and in this way guarantee that the beer is safely protected against tampering.

The keg travels by conveyor into the shrink-fitting unit, which automatically detects the keg height and moves to the fitting position. 4 hot air nozzles ensure a rapid shrinkfitting process. The horizontal nozzle displacement enables the detection of different keg diameters.

Capacity: 650 kegs/hour. Optional: can also be used for the capping of slim kegs.

SIGL Automatic Shrink-capper type S1200

The automatic shrink-capper S1200 is equipped with a mobile shrink-fitting head, which moves along in line with the keg on the conveyor during the shrink-fitting process. With its capacity of up to 1.200 kegs per, hour, the S1200 is the ideal piece of equipment for large breweries.

In combination with SIGL shrink-fitting caps for all fitting systems common in the industry, this provides maximum performance with top qualityforthe closure of kegs. Despite its high performance, the S1200 comes with compact dimensions, and can therefore be integrated easily into existing filling systems. The keg travels by conveyor to the inlet of the machine. After passing a light barrier, the shrink head moves automatically over the keg into the shrink position.

The keg stopper doors open and the shrink head travels in synchronisation with the keg on the outlet line, where the shrinking process is completed. Any required conveyor speed setting can be programmed. The automatic shrink-capper type S1200 is designed for mixed operation and sets itself for different caps and different keg sizes.

Capacity: 1.200 kegs/hour. Optional: can also be used for the capping of slim kegs.
